Transmission layout especially for performance vehicle has a torque tube with overlapping sections incorporating an elastic damping element

摘要

A transmission especially for a sports vehicle has a torque tube (121, 122) linking the engine (2) and the gearbox (7) and with a damping connection (13) to isolate engine vibrations. The damping element comprises coaxial overlapping sections with an intermediate elastic damping layer, which is secured to the sections and which can include voids of different sizes filled with a damping fluid and connected by ducts.
